Landeskog registered a pair of assists, six hits and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Blues in Game 1.
EDGE Analysis
Landeskog helped out on tallies by Samuel Girard and Josh Manson, the latter's goal being the game-winner in overtime. While he's only gotten on the scoresheet in three out of five playoff games, Landeskog's up to three goals and five helpers in the postseason. He's added 16 shots on net, 33 hits and a plus-3 rating while playing on the second line.

Landeskog had two goals and two assists in Saturday's 7-3 victory over Nashville in Game 3 of the Western Conference First Round.
EDGE Analysis
His first goal came at 10:58 of the second period; he knocked in his second rebound attempt past Connor Ingram. Landeskog's second came 3:04 later on a wrist shot from the slot. It stood as the winner. He sits second on the Avs in scoring with six points, including three goals, in three playoff games.

Landeskog scored a power-play goal on five shots, added an assist, logged six hits and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Predators in Game 1.
EDGE Analysis
Landeskog missed the end of the regular season, but he didn't skip a beat upon his return to the lineup. The 29-year-old helped out on an Artturi Lehkonen goal in the first period before scoring one of his own in the second. Landeskog started the series on the second line -- Valeri Nichushkin has clicked on the top line in Landeskog's absence, and head coach Jared Bednar clearly didn't want to disrupt the chemistry. Landeskog posted 30 goals and 29 helpers in 51 regular-season contests, so he should be capable of solid offense and physicality during the Avalanche's postseason run.

Landeskog (knee) is "good to go" and will be in Tuesday's lineup for Game 1 against Nashville, Kyle Fredrickson of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Landeskog underwent knee surgery in March and missed the last 23 games of the regular season. He still managed to rack up 30 goals and 59 points through 51 contests. The 29-year-old should jump back into his top-line role next to Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen.

Landeskog (knee) will not play in the Avs' last three regular-season contests but is expected to be ready for the postseason, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Landeskog has already been on the sidelines for Colorado's previous 20 contests and will now be sidelined for at least three more. Still, the team will no doubt get a boost from the fact that the elite winger will be ready to go for the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Despite playing in just 51 games this year, Landeskog still managed to reach the 30-goal mark for just the second time in his 11-year NHL career.

Landeskog (knee) did not travel with the Avs for their three-game road trip but is expected to start skating at home, Marc Moser of Altitude Sports 950 reports Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Landeskog has already missed the team's last 17 contests and will be on the shelf for at least three more based on his current timeline. Once cleared to play, the 29-year-old Swede should be a lock for a first-line role where he will partner up with Nathan MacKinnon. As such, Landeskog should immediately return to being a top-end fantasy target once back in action.

Landeskog (knee) has resumed skating, according to Peter Baugh of The Athletic.
EDGE Analysis
Landeskog has been sidelined since undergoing knee surgery in mid-March, but he has advanced to the point in his recovery where he can resume on-ice work. A target date for Landeskog's return remains uncertain, but with him up on his feet, he should have a chance to see action before Colorado's season comes to a close.

Landeskog underwent successful knee surgery Tuesday, Adrian Dater of Colorado Hockey Now reports.
EDGE Analysis
The physicians did not provide a timetable for when Landeskog could return to the ice, but the forward was "confident" he'd return for the playoffs if not sooner. The Avalanche could place Landeskog on long-term injured reserve, which would open up $7 million in cap space for a possible acquisition at the trade deadline. Philadelphia's Claude Giroux has been linked to Colorado over the past month.

Landeskog will be considered out indefinitely after undergoing knee surgery Monday, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Avalanche are hopeful they'll have Landeskog back for the start of the playoffs, so at this point a late-April return appears to be the best-case scenario for the 29-year-old winger. Alex Newhook may get the first crack at replacing Landeskog, who's racked up 30 goals and 59 points through 51 games this season, on the second line Sunday versus Calgary.

Landeskog voiced displeasure with the officials of Thursday's night's game against Carolina, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Landeskog opened his post-game press conference, following a 2-0 loss to the Hurricanes, with comments about a call and a non-call involving teammate Nazem Kadri in the third period, one of which led directly to Carolina's second goal. Baugh posted the entirety of Landeskog's remarks on Twitter. He essentially called out officials for being biased in making decisions involving Kadri because of his previous baggage. It's unclear if any disciplinary action will result.
